I suspect what he meant was that Google would have to store your SSID to remember you opted out :) which is partially defeating the object. The more I think about it, the more this (i.e. Google's solution) does seem the most sensible solu

This will make visitors stick around for a while and use that magic scroll button. But please also bear in mind those of us who use trackballs :)

Ah yes... fond memories. I think I got part way through pulling apart and gave up in disgust. :)

Great; so what is the alternative solution? I've been mulling it over and there simply doesn't seem to be a way. Google did indeed make a massive cock up over collecting the Wifi data - and taking them to task on that is a good thing. Deman

A fun quote, for sure. And of course there is a risk associated with being too clever for your own good. Which is where a good teacher comes in... :)

This. At school I was consistently the one who tried the "alternate" method. By which I mean; when setting a task to the class there was always a heavy suggestion of "how it should be done" or "the tool to use". Often with a "and you also m

Just do it for everything - I have a tiddlywiki [1] full of notes about how to fix/install/setup/tune etc. things on my computers. This started after I spent hours figuring out how to fix a network problem the the Nth time last year :) No

And in fact; given that both G+ and FB now have features (particularly privacy features) inspired by Diaspora suggests success to their original goals.

I think the post could swap "developer" for "hacker" - where you seem to be switching "great" for "hacker". I think what you are saying sort of agrees with the post. A bad hacker will make a mess, a great hacker exhibits judgement - and bri

^^ This. Prime initially increased my overall spend because it was so damned easy. Particularly as here in the UK I can order a book up to about 7pm and have it arrive next day. My record, I think, is ordering about 9pm and having it arrive

In the UK prime is bittersweet. Here all we get is free 1 day delivery. That alone is pretty good - and for a "power user" of Amazon like me (who used to spend multiples of the £50 prime membership in delivery a year) it rocks. But we don't

Yes, quite good. It misses a few of the principles of a good resume though... - Switch to a better font - definitely lose the italics - I'd drop the breadcrumb at the top of the resume view page, that could easily confuse someone reading it

The new privacy/group tools are a step towards helping solve that. It's not perfect but with a little bit of organisation you can use the same FB account for random people, casual acquaintances and real friends without causing issues. Hopef

I've been following this for a little while; just of idle interest. Unfortunately everything about the way Rossi acts in relation to the project screams scam. I bet nothing conclusive comes from this test..

Whether or not he has passed; if anyone has the book and fancies spending a little time adding interesting material to the WP article about him, that would be nice :)

Yeh; unfortunately that's not a strong enough source, particularly for this sort of edit :) Thanks anyway - I am sure it will appear in time. Usually stuff like this is legit; but sometimes it isn't. So the policy is to have a reliable sour

Do you have a source (i.e. link to the mailing list)? Unfortunately the person who added it to the Wiki article didn't add one.

I never claimed it was better! Just that I have had a good experience with LoveFilm. The streaming side of things is their biggest downside (although I am on the top package so most of the stuff is free) and from the descriptions Netflix is

Just a theory; but it is possible the isometric connected bricks are depicted that way up so that you can see how it interlocks a little better. (although, that doesn't explain the 2D versions that are "upside down")

by ErrantX 15y ago
Just for a different perspective: I've been quite happy using Lovefilm for the last couple of years :) Although competition is never a bad thing.

Yep; we've just had exactly this problem with a contractor. Some functionality needed tweaking, which was done on one page - but on testing we found the exact same functionality hadn't been tweaked on all the other pages. Huh? Turned out it

What about funding? I know how police forces work because we contract to some of them. The amount of funding required to investigate a crime is huge; where does that come from? With multiple, competing, courts/police this becomes an expensi

Can you not follow civil and criminal routes? Find an attorney to take the civil cases (and file for patent infringement, the ownership issue & the extortion), and at the same time report them for extortion. Assuming everything is well

Or in a slightly more cynical way (as one of my favourite bloggers commented): > If you hold a protest and you aren't throwing rocks it will fail.

I'd guess most of the people upgrading on Wednesday were the kind of people who need to have the latest iOS and OS X the minute it comes out, and those are also the types who will power through and figure it out. From this I take it you s

OK, so, just got me a shiny new 4S and have been playing with Siri. It quickly became apparent that it is "limited" to this list - but that's OK. It does it very well - it recognised all of my family members and workmates with 95% (or more)

This is the risk in asking for, and taking, the advice of an online forum. Especially a place where the people who hang out tend to be fast moving and with a quick, brutal approach to problems such as that you describe. That's not outright
